What happen if Dwayne Johnson starred in a B-Movie with an excessive budget? The result is Brad Peyton’s Rampage film who once worked with Johnson in the movie called San Andreas. For those who like to play video games in the late 80’s may still remember a game called Rampage, well… that’s the game that became the basis of this film. The curse of a movie based on video games seems to be valid, since the Rampage movie is not only stupid but bad from all aspects except the visuals.

An extraterrestrial satellite carrying a genetic mutation experimental mouse named Larry (this is apparently from an Atari game) is destroyed and leaves fragments falling to earth. 3 containers of the research result fall in different places and infect some animals so they turn into giants. One of them is George, an albino gorilla at the San Diego Zoo. The primate expert named Dave Okoye (Dwayne Johnson) can communicate with George using sign language and this incident turned out to change the behavior of George who had been obedient and become wild with a body that enlarge 10 times of normal size. The Energyne company, who owned the experiment, is not helping at all, they lure George and other giant animals into the city and devastate everything they pass through. And (as always) only Dwayne Johnson can save the world from destruction.

As I already said, Rampage does not excel from all sides. Perhaps it can only be visual entertainment and if you are not a big fan of video games then certainly this movie will soon disappear from your memory. And please do not compare with Godzilla (2014) because this movie is nothing compared to Gareth Edwards’ film.
